Men's Hockey Teams With Easton & Juneau in Equipment Fund Drive

TROY, N.Y. - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) men’s hockey team has entered into an agreement with Easton Sports, Inc. on a deal to make the equipment company the official provider of skates, sticks, pads, and other gear for the Engineers.

In addition to direct support from Easton, the affiliation also allows the opportunity for fans, friends, and alumni to aid Rensselaer hockey by contributing to a hockey equipment fund that has been established in conjunction with the partnership.

Former RPI All-American and National Hockey League standout Joé Juneau ’91, helped broker the venture with Easton.

“The Easton deal provides us with a great opportunity to expand the resource base that the staff can draw upon in support of the program,” said Juneau. “Each and every dollar of support will go directly to the hockey program to provide top-of-the-line Easton equipment and allow the re-allocation of budget dollars, previously dedicated to equipment, to other critical components, such as recruiting and upgrades to facilities.”

“Easton is at the pinnacle of hockey technology and performance and we are fortunate to be associated with a company of its stature,” said Rensselaer head coach Seth Appert. “To become a championship program once again, we need to provide our student-athletes the very best. This deal is a big step for us to reach our full potential.”
